Background
The Deians are humanoids with pale blue skin and very little, or no facial hair. Indeed, they have a cultural taboo against exposing any body hair except their head hair. Their appearance is considered almost god-like in its beauty by humans, hence their name, such that those races that find the human form attractive, often also find the slender, coolly, pristine and ethereally angelic looks of an average Deian a distraction.

First contacted in 2213, the Deians, or True Nerillar as they call themselves (they term each race according to the order in which they were encountered, so Humans are Second Nerillar, Vulcans are Fourth Nerillar and so on), had already laid colonies on three planets within their own Paktar system and were on the verge of making contact with other races. These were in addition to their homeworld, the third planet in the Paktar system, known as "Kal'Tyar Seterra Nerillar", or "First and True Home".

Though they value their privacy - their monotheistic religion remains a secret to this day, many Deians choose to serve in Starfleet. This tends to be in the science or engineering branches, although others do serve as Federation diplomats.

Notes
The Deians are a conversion of the race that appears and is described in Prime Adventures 1, a supplement for Prime Directive, the role-playing game for the Star Fleet Battles universe published by Task Force Games For further information, see page 21 of Prime Adventures 1. They were originally created by Christopher Allen and given statistics by Timothy Oleson.
